[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Jeik:
The newest 4.2 release is faster then the first 4.2 release.i flashed it over odin,and it was 30% faster then debloated first 4.2,even with bloatware and .odex files.4.1 isnt that good,belive me.

http://live.samsung-updates.com/details/15168/Galaxy_Tab_2_10.1_WiFi/GT-P5110/XTC/P5110XXDMH3.html

This is the link to the newest 4.2.Flash with odin,then open twrp,flash blackhawk kernel with samsung vendor blobs,reboot(TWRP will ask you to install superSU right after you press reboot and select yes).Remove unneeded bloatware from system/app and you have a fast 4.2 rom with all of samsungs beauty.

Hi i got an Tab 2 (obviously)

Im a Noob so what follows may be quiet obvious but still...

I own a Galaxy tab 2 10.1 Running 4.0.3 where new os version are already out for this but for specific countries. I Got mine From Germany.

Kernel version is 3.0.8-365113-user

dpi@DELL155 #1

Build number: IML74K.P5110XWALD2

So Can someone help me update to a more to date version of android without loosing warranty Plz

Thx
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ddochi11:
If you don't want to lose warranty, call Samsung to help you with the update.

Otherwise, search and read about updating it yourself.

I was running stock 4.2.2 on my tab 2 10.1, and decided a week ago to try out 4.3.1 using the CM 10.2 nightly builds. I was very pleased with the 1105 build and have been using the 1108 build for the past 5 days. Much smoother, faster, and best of all, the bloatware Samsung puts in is gone! I've not seen any issues, or crashes so far. :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Damnationz:
so is there is no way?

is there a way to change the region code?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] DarkStryder:
If you want to change region code you would have to root your tab (root loses warranty) so your best option is to go to sammobile.com/firmwares and download latest firm for your tab! This will not void your warranty! If u ever have a problem and you need to take your tab for repair through warranty you can flash the firm for your country and then take to Samsung

Press that thanks button!

Low ram...!

Hello XDA'ers I have a question about our ram...!

Samsung says that our tab has 1gb ram but why can't we get complete 1gb for eg: I am using cm 10.2 and it's just giving 774mb...!

So can we break the partition and get full 1gb of ram...? (My device- tab 2p3100)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] DarkStryder:
Out of one gb operating system needs its ram, the rest is user apps and processes.

Good day,

I have flashed a new ROM slimkat 4.4.2 on my p3110, fresh install no APks yet, no gapps but my storage says there's only 2gb storage available on

My internal storage. What is causing this? tia!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
Check if you have from your previous ROMs big amount of old data and folders, big download files etc on your internal storage (videos, photo, sound files). Installing a custom ROM doesn't format your storage :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] kulot:
Got that taken cared of. Thanks! Any tips for over clocking the tab 2 p3110?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Vishesh:
Overclocking can be done with custom kernel like agni or next..

If u r going to use agni, then explore agni control app(pre-installed) for overclocking..

If u r going to use next kernel, then after flashing kernel, download stweaks from playstore, and explore it..

Good luck..

¶Help must be Thanked¶
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
Cool :) IMHO, you don't need really OC for such a sturdy piece of hardware, it can cause more problems than be useful. P3110 has different development than my P5110, browse bit around its development threads and read which settings people use for successfully working OC. Im some cases, the minimum CPU frequence is good to be raised a bit, otherwise random FC's may be result.

My very subjective reccomendation is:

Don't save OC settings on boot (just after changing the functions) before you're absolutely sure all works great

Make nandroid backup before you go into the OC testing

Check the scripts thread of mat9v for Devil kernel settings for Galaxy Note 2. Altough it regards completely different device, that guy is a master of finding proper settings and you will get an impression how delicate area that is to have bug-free working OC'ed device.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Kvidli:
Sorry guys, this has been prolly asked like a thousand times but I'm lost with all the steps and different tutorials... Just one simple question... I rooted my tab by flashing philz touch recovery with odin, so now I made a backup of my nandroid and flashed another rom... okay so here's the question... If I wanna go back to stock do I: Restore my nandroid from recovery, use triangle away and then unroot or is there another way? Thanks guys! :laugh:

[MENTION=4179068]Kvidli[/MENTION] the best way to go back to stock would be to erase flash counter with triangle away and flash an entire stock ROM for your Tab with Odin afterwards. It won't raise your counter.

Restoring a nandroid backup of the different ROM, made with different recovery or kernel might fail with bootloop. You should void that step as an unexperienced user.

Hello guys thanks for your help earlier. I am very new to the modding community and I have a few questions that I would like to get answers for.

I downloaded the Philz touch recovery (.zip not.tar) but really don't know how to flash it. Sir Phil was kind enough to let me know that I can root my Tab with his recovery but I don't know how to do that either. It would be great if someone can tell me the procedure.

Also, do I need to backup the EFS folder before flashing the recovery? How do I do that?

Thanks a lot in advance guys!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] LioCraft:
That's not very nice ... Thx to XDA for giving us a chance of being up to date on our devices.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
Normally, zip files get flashed through custom recovery. Your first custom recovery should be flashed by Odin, as tar/md5 format, because the stock recovery will refuse to do so.

Yes, you can root your Tab with PhilZ, but first flash any other recovery with Odin, run recovery mode, install PhilZ zip, reboot recovery, choose in PhilZ recovery (your tab will run it now as its new recovery) the option to root.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mustajab Is'haq:
Thanks a lot sir for your help.

Could you please explain which version of Odin I should choose?

In Odin what should I tick/leave as it is?

Thanks again sir.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Neosaurus:
I'm looking for a recovery that supports flashing 4.4 ROMs, as I found the SlimKat stable build 3 for my P3110 and it says Status 7, aborting. I know this is to do with my recovery. I'm running CWM 6.0.2.7. Please help.

Thanks, Neo
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
You're welcome, mate.

To make it sure sure, just write me your Tab model.

In general, Odin 3.04 or 3.07 is used for Tab 2.

Be sure to flash the recovery made exactly for your Tab (for example: for p5100, you shouldn't flash p5110 recovery).

Run Odin as admnistrator and choose recovery.tar/md5 file as PDA

Please visit my sticky thread for the i9000, it is a full guide with videos how to flash with Odin.

Check the last video (Nr 3) with flashing a kernel with Odin.

Except that you use different Odin and different file under PDA, the rest of the flashing procedure will be just identic like in the guide.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Android-Andi:
[MENTION=5716262]Neosaurus[/MENTION] you can use any of my latest Recoverys for your Device. Link in my signature.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mustajab Is'haq:
I have a P3100 good sir. I appreciate your help and I'll follow your instructions to the letter along with everything else I've learnt here on xda so that I can root my Tab. Thanks again sir.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Neosaurus:
Do I just use my current recovery to flash this one?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Android-Andi:
Yes, download one of my flashable-zip´s, boot your CWM 6.0.2.7 and flash it.

After that reboot your recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=5412329]Mustajab Is'haq[/MENTION] Good. Can you also let me know also which firmware is now installed on your P3100? Stock 4.2.2? Just ask if you need help, I will try to help you with root....we'll make it work like charm :)

PhilZ recovery is ceirtanly good start now, I think the attached root zip should work with your P3100

So just flash your recovery with Odin now, then you should reboot to recovery and can either root with PhilZ, or simply flash (install) the attached zip. After that, you are rooted.

After that you can use TWRP recovery to backup your EFS folder. (It wouldn't surprize me that it works with PhilZ as well) Simply flash TWRP.zip file for your Tab P3100 and reboot recovery. Then you will find that ption under "backup"
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mustajab Is'haq:
Sir I've recently spotted ChainFire's CF Root thread so I'm thinking of following that thread. Is it okay if I do that?

My Tab has been stuck at 4.0.4 since my dad bought it so I was hoping someone would help me update it. That went unsuccessful so I'm thinking of flashing a recovery and then a KitKat ROM. Could you give me any more advice?

Thanks a lot for your kind help sir.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
Hi there :)

Mate, no problem about that. You should maybe just decide is it important for you to use benefits of root, or is it simply enough to use the latest version of a stock ROM? Flashing of the latest stock ROM is anyway good idea even if you want to use some KitKat custom ROM later, as you will get the JB bootloader, which is excellent basic to use KK roms.

All stock firmwares for your P3100 you can download from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Try to find the latest stock ROM (version 4.2.2) made for your country, or closest country to yours.

Use either of the attached Odin versions for that AMAIK, all should be compatible with your Tab, some people praise one, and other another Odin version to be most stable

Just use any good guide that explaines all about correct using Odin (beginning from USB driver installing, killing Kies if installed, enabling USB debugging in developer options, explaining what should Odin display in download mode etc), like I've written you before, you can also check it in my guide for Samsung i9000. It is a long OP, you can start towards the bottom, where flashing of a kernel with Odin gets explained (just before video No.3)

For root and custom ROM, flash any of the recoveries for P3100: either PhilZ you mentioned before, or any of Odin flashable (md5) of the recent recoveries for P3100 (and click "Thanks" beyond that post by Android-Andi).

After you flash a recovery with Odin, just flash root.zip file from my last post in the recovery mode and you will be rooted after reboot

I really like TWRP, as it is a beautiful touch-recovery, wipes absolutely reliable (better than CWM does), you can flash several zips in queue and backup your EFS folder partition separately (and restore, of course, if ever necessary)

Thanks Raamishmk! It is rooted now. I had some problems with the ClockworkMod in Odin, but after seeing the video, that was easy. :D

The only thing is, I have Android version 4.2.2. Can I update to Kitkat?

And I still have problems connecting to my Dlink Dir 655 router.

I already updated the firmware, reset it and rebooted it, but still no go.

I asked Samsung for advice, but until now no answer.

If you have any advice?

Johanna
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] raamishmk:
Glad that vid helped.

Surely u can update to 4.4 but for that u will need a custom rom as official samsung Kitkat for our tab is not available.

There are some nice kitkat roms such as SlimKat...Mokee Open Source...CyanogenMod 11...etc which u can search and decide by their features which would be best for you. ;)

Otherwise we are here to help. :)

About that router thing, what type of a problem u get.?

And after resetting it have u tried to re-configure its key and all the settings manually..?

Also pretty sure it has nothing to do with your tab or its android version, its just some minor problem in the settings of your router.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] johanna52:
Weird problem

I am still figuring out what I can do with this rooted device. I dont see many changes. Thanks for the mods!

As for not be able to connect with my router, it happened all of a sudden. Have no idea what caused it.

I can connect with my Xperia. I will try and change the preshared key. Yes I entered all the settings manually.

Samsung wrote me too with some tips. Will try those out tomorrow.
